9、 advanced 21st century technology global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet to get “geocaching”. The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache usually a waterproof plastic box

10、containing small items such as toys and CDs along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, the person who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then

11、 visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about

12、 their position. This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine ones location.Geocachers are a very considerate group.

Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circu

17、s. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and th

18、e law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors

19、. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understa

20、ndable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are

21、 acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course its no substitute for living i

25、jects and training zoo workers.BChecking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.CDesigning zoos and approving zoo operations.DCaring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.11Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?AZoo animals should be freed into the wild.

26、BZoos are more popular now than in the past.
